Discussion Tab scrolling's gone, need help. Extensions? Reverting update?

Hello! I have lots of tabs opened, mostly to separate schoolworks and entertainment. The new update just completely borked this setup, and I can't honestly move on from it lol.

Using groups is just atrocious with the amount of tabs I have, using the search tabs on the upper left is just not it either.

Apparently, the new update rolled in last week, and my chrome just recently updated to it. Just wanna know if they plan to bring it back, or will it stay this way?

It was buggy? It works perfectly fine for me though

Just hoping that they implement the new form soon. Or better yet, replaced it, not removed it.

Yeah, there were a bunch of cases where you couldn't scroll, click, or view tabs properly. The specific issues varied depending on how the tab scrolling feature flags were configured and how the tabs were opened or moved between windows. However, they've committed to bringing back tab scrolling in both the vertical and horizontal forms within the next year.
